I measured mine 60-48mm. That's eye to eye though and still mounted. There's no bumpstop installed either.

Had some time the other night in between working on another guys rig to clean up and finish the cantilever setup. It seems like it's gonna work really well. The rig is in the building stages yet. Used boom racing shocks. Didn't like the way they worked so I took out the inner springs and used some left over rc4wd springs and some spring cups and made a slightly different setup and I like it. Everything works smoothly so we'll see Sent from my Z981 using Tapatalk |

Those pics are static stance. How much flex is it capable of doing? And are those rear body post mounts in the parts trees?

I stumbled across these while looking for something else. I think they may work so that a conventional 1:10 shock would fit the Mini eRevo rockers. Although the hole would need to be opened to accommodate an m3 bolt. https://www.ebay.com/itm/HPI-Racing-...gAAOSw32lYtJoF Last edited by Brake Weight; 10-23-2017 at 12:00 PM. |

I scored these in the sale bin at my LHS. I believe they’re for the V100. I think they’ll mate good for cantilevered crawler duty. |

Whatever came about this? Came across this searching around for rear shock solutions. |

Yes, I've been gathering parts for a rear cantilever using Mini Slash/Revo parts, but the Twin Hammers parts look better and already setup for 3mm screws.

What did you use for the upper and lower spring cups? I’ve had these shocks sitting in a parts bin for a while. I tried something similar with mini t springs but never found a solution for securing the upper spring Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk | |

Inspired by those great ideas, I started a Twinhammer based Canti setup some time ago on my own, which I would like to share. I made an adaptor plate for the shock and the lever, using existing holes in the (Axial) frame rails and just adding one extra hole for the shock attachment: |

Fast forward to today: Twinhammer front shocks and cantilever, 3d-printed collar and modified spring cups for lesser preload, softer springs (Tamiya). |
